• Blue Shock

:-Originally tested in a few areas like Chicago, Blue Shock is berry citrus flavored. Mountain Dew Blue Shock failed to sell in the test market though and as such was later released nation wide only in Slurpee form as an exclusive to 7-Eleven stores in 2002. It was there that Blue Shock made one of the most successful Slurpee flavor launches ever.The formula has since been reported as being purchased from PepsiCo by Faygo and is now used for their Moon Mist Blue flavor.

• Mountain Dew X

:-Mountain Dew X is the tentative title for a new flavor of Mountain Dew, rumored to be a new energy drink. A "beta test" of the new soft drink was conducted in 2005 through the Mountain Dew web site. Six-packs were also given to selected attendees at the September 28, 2005 University of Cincinnati v. Miami (OH) Football game, as well as the 2005 E3 videogame trade show. Individual cans were released at the XBox 360 introduction party at 2005 E3 as well. Little is currently known about the flavor of the new beverage, but by all accounts it tastes very similar to original Mountain Dew, with the exception of a mild bitter aftertaste, likely from the addition of the energy drink roots and extracts. A sample at an XBox 360 College Tour stop contained no bitter aftertaste and was actually sweeter than original Mountain Dew but with fewer carbs, perhaps because of its Maltodextrin content. Other ingredients were Guarana, Taurine and Ginseing. Its tentative release date is November 1, 2005.
